Why are houses unaffordable?

Because hedge funds perpetually keep about 40% of available housing in the US empty for the purpose of driving up prices

people started treating them as investments instead of somewhere to live

Houses are such a pain in the ass, such a gigantic money pit that consumes your soul. Not interested.

If you can afford something, you don't have to keep working for it for 15, 30, or now 50 years.

If you're not working, you're not making line go up.
Can't have that.

Remember, growth for the sake of growth is what?
Cancer. That's what.

I actually really like these floor plans where only the entertaining and living spaces are downstairs with the kitchen and then all the bedrooms are packed together upstairs. Just makes alot of sense.

His point is that the same house should cost $28k just based on inflation, but in reality it's at least 10x that. The cost of housing increases much faster than inflation.

Tax empty homes.
Promote reporting houses not lived in, see if they are reported as primary residence to avoid paying taxes. Tax tax and tax some more until the youn cashier's can afford a 30yr loan for a home. This was the standard our parents had all their lives and their parents parents. This is what's being robbed. A 50yr loan is robbery. Which banks profit from these interest rates? They and their families are among the enemies now. Use Rico to seize the investment companies treasonous economic weapon-properties.

No the same house should cost $30,000 for the same low quality materials they used back then not including the brick cement or plaster.
A home like that today with much higher quality materials and HVAC electricity modern plumbing and all that stuff not including brick cement or plaster would be around $200,000 which is still a lot but if you use the same low quality materials they use back then you're probably looking at about $140,000

And then you have to look at land utilities hook up and labor. It's not so much that things are overpriced but that nobody makes enough money except the rich

It's illegal to keep niggers out of your neighborhood, so the only legal way is to price them out

Because people don't buy houses as a home these days. They are bought as an investment.
It's the simple truth.

Except that doesn't work when Section 8 exists.

>Tax

That's a funny way of spelling 'burn'. Which is what exactly would happen to all the empty properties (and I'm sure some that weren't) if they started taxing them.

Just employ a Luxury Tax and be done with it.

>based on inflation
And that point is retarded. More factors than just hur dur inflation calculator says 20k need to be taken into effect. You guys literally cannot see the forest for the trees.
